Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery: Cutting-Edge Expert Perspective

Dear Colleagues,

The evolution of reconstructive and aesthetic plastic surgery over the past 50 years has been truly remarkable.

All areas of this discipline have inevitably undergone continuous growth and increasing specialization, while technological advancements have profoundly impacted millions of professionals worldwide.

Research into prosthetic devices, flap, and lymphatic microsurgery has driven progress to the point where procedures once considered unthinkable 20 years ago are now possible—thanks also to improvements in anesthetic techniques for pain control and the management of critically ill patients or those undergoing highly invasive procedures.

The refinement of surgical techniques now significantly involves other fields of medicine as well, such as tumor immunobiology, trauma care, and many others.

This Special Issue aims to explore the evolution of reconstructive plastic surgery from a cross-disciplinary perspective, with a focus on the most recent innovations that have shaped this field.
